Itano Tomomi 1 Percent
On April 19, 2013 AKB48 solo artists Itano Tomomi announced that she plans to release her fourth solo single, “1%” on June 12, 2013. This will be her first single since her single “10-nen go no Kimi e” which was released over 1 year and 2 months ago.
The new release will be a dance-sounding song just like her debut single “Dear J” and it is said to describe the “feeling of trying for a relationship with someone when you know you only have a 1% chance of success.”
The music video was filmed earlier this month atop a skyscraper in New York City. On being able to film in NYC Tomomi commented, “I was able to film in New York City; A city that I’ve always adored. I had meetings for the costumes and PV planning one after another, so I’m sure it turned out well. Please look forward to it!”
Congratulations to Tomo for the almost assured success of this new single!
While Itano was in New York City she also filmed a commercial for “Samantha Vega.”
